Black Narcissus - Horny in the Himalayas

What this episode covers

Black Narcissus: A horror film about nuns or erotic thriller about nuns? Nicole and Rolando contemplate how to best sum up the 1947 British film by Powell and Pressburger. Was Sister Clodough, played by Deborah Kerr, lusting after Mr. Dean? Was Sister Ruth, played by Kathleen Byron, succumbing to arousal or a victim of mental illness? Then, they discuss the 2020 BBC and FX three-part miniseries, Black Narcissus. Does expanding the story help or hurt the nuns? And can the series stand on its own or will it find itself in the shadow of the 1947 film? Which did they enjoy best? Are these versions faithful to the 1939 Rumer Godden novel? Do they make a ton of assumptions about Anglican nuns in the Himalayas circa 1930? Listen and find out.
